Certain beaver in Supraśl isn`t afraid of people and lets them approach as close as a few yards. Experts are flabbergasted. That is strange...beavers usually shy away from people. I had a "beaver moment" last summer. There is a brook which flows under Main Street in my town, just a short distance from where I live. The brook flows into a large river that passes by forming the boundary between my town and the small city next to us. I was out walking one late afternoon, and the sun was at an angle where it was shining down to the bottom of the brook which was only about 2 feet or so deep. As I walked along over the place where the brook flows under the road, I looked down and saw a large, beautiful beaver silently gliding underwater along with the flow of the brook. It was just a very special moment for me. If the sun hadn't been just right, I would never have known the beaver was there, it moved so naturally and silently under the water without making a ripple! Native Americans used to say that you were given a gift if you got close enough to a beaver to get a good look. |

People are irresponsible. First they feed wild boars and then they complain that animals mess up the area looking for food. Aren't the boars also dangerous?  |

Nice encounter. Of course, you took a photo. |

Of course, you took a photo. Noooo, I was out for an evening walk. I don't carry a camera with me at all times like some folks I know...and I don't have a smart phone. |

It almost looks like this poor bison has porcupine quills sticking in its hide...do you know if this is the case?
I just saw an article and a photo today about a police dog who was pursuing a suspect and encountered a porcupine who sprayed his snout, mouth, and paws with its quills. The police suspended the chase to take the dog for treatment. The quills looked just like whatever is sticking in the bison's back.  |
